No "need" for an X-pipe.
Doh! I see where you're goin now. My problem with the X pipe is what size of pipe. Brian shows a Y pipe with 2-3/4" size. Yet all I'm able to find is mainly 2-1/4, 2-1/2 & 3" Xs from Magnaflow, Duramax and others. I even asked in a separate thread whether anyone could give me the p/n to the one they have used with only vague responses about what others thought were being used. But never any definite answers.
I'm not worried so much about the cost as I am about the quality/workmanship of the part. Seen them running from $25 to over $100.
